Seventy pages (typed) of letters, all are from Adolph Engelmann to his family except one letter (p. 51) is addressed to “Brothers and Sisters;” one to “Engelmann” from a Capt. Adolphus Keller at Saltillo (p. 68); one written by G.A. Koerner, date unknown (p. 69); and one from C.H. Bridges, War Department, 1932, to Otto B. Engelmann regarding his father’s file (p. 70). Otherwise all letters are typed transcripts translated from German, written by Lieutenant Adolph Engelmann (enrolled into service in Captain Raith's Company, second regiment (Bissels), Illinois Foot Volunteer). He writes to his parents during the Mexican War, 1846-1847. Discusses living conditions at his campsites, travel across the prairie and weather conditions, as he makes his way from Illinois south into Mexican territory where he anticipates battle with the Mexican army, which occurs in February of 1947 in “Saltillo,” when Adolph is wounded after a bullet lodges in his inner arm, remaining there until he returns home. Throughout the letters, Adolph details his visit to an Indian camp; writes that “the country was swarming with Indians with hostile intentions.” Writes about his troop's dissatisfaction with their general “whose pettiness becomes daily more apparent” (p. 39) and his impressions of Mexicans as “very dirty . . . picking lice off each other . . . .” (p. 20). Meets a man who tells him that a third of the natives “have long wished for our coming; one third are independent; the other one third are our enemies” (p. 40). He writes that all volunteers of his section are regretful that they ever left home, that it is hard for a “free American to accustom himself to the discipline and Aristocracy of the Army” (p. 47), and that President Polk's administration is “as unpopular with us as it possibly can be” (p. 62). He explains that while his troop marched so far that they long hoped for battle. He writes that the Arkansas regiment has lost men leaving camp as they were “lassoed and dragged by Mexicans” the regiment then took vengeance on between 18-30 Mexican civilians in the hills (p. 57-58)., No date
